Two seasoned featherweights will square off when the
UFC revisits Montreal, according to promotion officials, who
recently announced that Rodrigo
Damm will lock up with Antonio
Carvalho at UFC
154.

Taking place at the Bell Centre in Montreal, the Nov. 17 event is
expected to be headlined by a welterweight title unification bout
between Georges St.
Pierre and Carlos
Condit, provided St. Pierre is able to recover from his torn
ACL in time. The pay-per-view event will also likely showcase
another crucial welterweight tilt pitting Johny
Hendricks against Martin
Kampmann.

Damm, 32, used his recent appearance on “The Ultimate Fighter:
Brazil” to jump-start his career as a featherweight. After losing
four of five at 155 pounds from 2008 to 2011, Damm impressed in his
Octagon debut against “TUF” cast mate Anistavio Medeiros de
Figueroa, submitting “Gasparzinho” with a rear-naked choke in just
2:12 at UFC 147.

Carvalho, 33, rebounded from defeat in his inaugural UFC appearance
to impress in his sophomore Octagon effort, using a crisp boxing
attack to relieve former Legacy FC champion Daniel
Pineda of his consciousness last month at UFC 149. “Pato” has
now won four of his last five fights and owns 10 of his 14 career
victories by either knockout or submission.
